City To Collect Storm Debris

Times Record Staff

The city of Fort Smith will conduct special collection of tree debris in neighborhoods affected by Saturday thunderstorms.

Debris collection will occur through July 21, according to a city news release. Tree debris will need to be placed curbside, away from cars, mailboxes and utilities such as water meters, fire hydrants and overhead power lines, the release states. Bundling requirements will be relaxed in the affected neighborhoods during the special collection period and tree debris will be collected unbundled in lengths not to exceed 6 feet. Tree trunks and larger debris will require assessment prior to collection due to equipment capabilities and limitations.

Damage assessments conducted by the Fort Smith Department of Sanitation indicate the damage was confined, primarily, to an area north of Zero Street and east of Interstate 540, according to the release.

Affected neighborhoods are:

• Applegate.

• Breckenridge.

• Brighton Place.

• Butterfield Landing.

• Camelot.

• Canterbury Place.

• Carrington.

• Chaffin East.

• Cliffwood.

• Eastern Village.
